A novel fast and automatic methodology for the hierarchical classification and similarity matching of mid-infrared spectra of paint samples based on the principles of Soft Independent Modelling of Class Analogy (SIMCA) and on the definition and properties of the Mahalanobis distance is here proposed. This approach was tested in a so-called market study (i.e., targeting products largely accessible to the general public and conceived for a considerably wide range of usages) conducted across the surroundings of the city of Lille, in France, and has permitted not only to successfully achieve the chemical characterisation of most of the analysed samples but also to discover specific commonality patterns among specimens sharing the same chemical features.

Background: Mindfulness meditation (MM), originating from spiritual traditions but widely promoted as a secular and beneficial practice, is increasingly debated due to potential adverse effects, ethical concerns, and its ties with neoliberal imperatives, challenging its image as a universal remedy. Beliefs about MM strongly influence its reception, usage, and effects but remain understudied, especially in comparing meditators and non-meditators. Understanding these beliefs is key to clarifying how lay perceptions align or diverge from scientific frameworks and to grasp individuals' expectations and motivations, notably in clinical contexts.

Advances in data collection have resulted in an exponential growth of high-dimensional microarray datasets for binary classification in bioinformatics and medical diagnostics. These datasets generally possess many features but relatively few samples, resulting in challenges associated with the "curse of dimensionality", such as feature redundancy and an elevated risk of overfitting. While traditional feature selection approaches, such as filter-based and wrapper-based approaches, can help to reduce dimensionality, they often struggle to capture feature interactions while adequately preserving model generalization.

Background: Cervical cancer (CC) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, emphasizing the need for accurate and efficient diagnostic tools. Traditional methods of cervical cell classification are time-consuming and susceptible to human error, highlighting the need for automated solutions.
Materials And Methods: This study introduces the modified hierarchical deep feature fusion (HDFF) method for cervical cell classification using the SIPaKMeD and Herlev datasets.

Analyzing consumers' preferences and perceptions of eggs can provide data support for the egg industry to produce products that better meet consumer preferences. The study evaluated consumers' egg consumption preferences based on an online survey from 2022 to 2024 of 3,434 consumers of different ages. The results showed that Generation Z (Gen Z), referred to the people born after 1997, was more concerned about the topic of eggs and was willing to purchase eggs through e-commerce platforms.

Introduction: Exposure to prescription opioids following traumatic injury can increase the risk of developing tolerance, persistent opioid use and opioid use disorder. The mechanisms underlying opioid tolerance or dependence are not well understood, and no biomarkers predict risk. Opioid exposure causes epigenetic modifications, including alterations in microRNA (miRNA) expression.
